"Great product, but conflicts & repeated aspects have a bill"

3/5

What do you like best about Tanium?

It’s end point protection against known APTs and assuring end devices are complaint with required aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tanium?

We’ve moved to a model where now end devices have multiple programs and processes that are duplicative and when looking for performance, that becomes a detriment. Tanium has some great capabilities, but it overlaps some other products. The “corporate” model my “company” network uses has been very redundant in nature, and has resulted in conflicts with other software and 100% disk and cpu utilization at boot up. The result has been serious decline in user experience and a “get a coffee” at start-up syndrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tanium:

Solves many problems, but deconfliction required Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tanium solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s automation removes some touch maintanance and makes software management and has capabilities if fully employed, and if capable of removing other repeats, it would likely be an outstanding product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tanium patching. it can be a hassle and accidentally took server room down... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
